Default Forgive me Father, for I have sinned

Mea Culpa,
Mea Culpa,
Mea Culpa,*


I think I've only rally driven the toy maybe four maybe five times this year.












* of course I will rot in hell for this since I'm as religious as a rock.

I have been driving mine less as well, but my excuse has to do with the two bikes in the garage.

I don't get to leave the house except to drive my kid to school. To young for the S so it doesn't come out. Soon to start taking the bus so I might be able to drive him to the school bus stop a 1/4 mile away but that's about it.

I've put about 5,000 miles on the car this year. Way more than the usual 1,750 that I have averaged.

But I think I've only taken it out 4 or 5 times, twice to Upstate NY (once for the Solidarity Drive), once to Watkins Glen for two days on track and once to Lime Rock for a track day. Not sure how I racked up 5,000 miles with just that!

Anyway, it's an '04, now with a little over 21,000 miles.


Oh, by the way, I sprinkled a little Holy Water with your first post up on the screen, so I think you should be all right.

The biggest hindrance to my driving has been lack of parking at my employer. I just don't want to park on the streets of New London, CT. Honestly, I'm more likely to be hit by my own fellow co workers than anything else... but it's a real concern.

I did hit 104,000 on the odo this past Saturday, though, and took the 8 mos pregnant wife out for our 7th anniversary this past Monday. It's still treating us well. It's an '00 that we've had since '07.

Perfect night out tonight, at least in Southeast CT.

Mine sees a lot of action. I'm about to hit 190K (next week-ish). Started the year with about 185k.

Mine's living with me in California for the last 4 months. All I have is street parking here; let's just say it's been an adjustment. I even had to put a goddam sticker on the bumper. Sigh.

The S took me across the country in fine style. We're making the return trip back home to MA together in October.

Did I ever mention how much I love this car?

So what's the mileage on your car, Charlie?
